Kleptomania is different from shoplifting or ordinary theft, which is: 1  Deliberate. 2  Motivated by the stolen item's usefulness or monetary value. 3  The result of a dare, an act of rebellion, or a rite of passage.
The coconut palm, a tropical plant not tolerant of frost, grows outdoors in USDA hardiness Zones 10 and warmer. Having beauty in form and texture, the singular, oft-leaning trunk is topped by a feathery tuft of large fronds that is exquisite against a tropical sky.
Coconut palms occur naturally in the tropics, particularly in the southern Pacific Ocean. They are widely used as landscape trees within their native range, and in other locations with a comparably moist, humid climate. They are not frost tolerant and will develop potentially fatal fungal infections if exposed to cold.
